"Kentucky ranks third in the nation in the export of guns used in crimes in other states, according to a recent report. Behind only Mississippi and West Virginia, Kentucky exported nearly 35 guns used in crimes elsewhere per 100,000 residents in 2009, more than twice the national rate of just over 14, according to the report released in September by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a coalition of more than 500 mayors across the country, including Louisville’s Jerry Abramson."
